Artist: Vakill Album: Armor of God Song: A Lynched Legacy Typed by: jostmatt at bluewin dot ch (Anybody know who Willie Lynch was? Anybody? Raise your hand? No one? He was a vicious slave owner in the West Indies The slave masters in the colony of Virginia were having trouble controlling their slaves so they sent for Mr. Lynch to teach them his methods The word lynching came from his last name) --> Denzel Washington as Melvin B. Tolson in 'The Great Debaters' [ VERSE 1 ] The year is 1712, the Lord sent me a vision Carvin in niggas' brains a gently incision A prominent psychological dominance, most ominous But effective enough to force you niggas to honor us My invention's better than a tree and a rope Seein I wrote this to shatter they freedom and hope My first point of control starts Moldin the younger slaves' cold hearts against the elderly cohorts Divide 'em all up by plantation status Till they fully forget the slave master race matters Expose difference in intelligence, size and sex Skin shape, pigmentation utilizin necks It seems this has the most wide effect Cause the light of the skin to a nigga now provides a threat And I've got to be proven wrong I can show you better than I could tell you, let's move along [ CHORUS ] I am self-hate, I am the source of wars Now I'm money, fame and Source Awards I'm the unseen hand that forces yours I am Lynch, I am Lynch (Talk to 'em) I am self-hate, I am the source of wars Now I'm money, fame and Source Awards I'm the unseen hand that forces yours I am Lynch, I am Lynch [ VERSE 2 ] The year is 19... fuck it, the 1960s Black power movement ( ? ) Panther Party's the answer, probably Did it slow a 400-year calculated cancer? Hardly Infiltrated by Central Intelligence Divide-and-conquer doctrine got more instrumental and relevant Went from hood to self monetary gain But after the dope the fall of the monastery came Which broke the Panthers into subdivisions Color coded like Crip and Blood envisioned, fragmented to street gangs Some dumb religion with government backing And the have-nots ( ? ) So what was once a plantation now a block radius Gang color wars escalated when the '80s hit If I'm lyin then prove me wrong I can show you better than I could tell you, let's move along [ CHORUS ] [ VERSE 3 ] Welcome to the wonderful world of the 1990s Niggas is bling-blingin and life seem shiny My influence more prevalent now, it never wore down Created coastal wars for irrelevant crowns Erase two of the biggest kings off the chess board I'm the scientist of this so-called East-West war Division regional with no exits Or co-exist or willing to make decisions reasonable For I have seen the mountain top And it involves more senseless carnage now that the South is hot I'm prayin Nas go at Jeezy I want 50 to murk Weezy I patronize doin dirt easy Wonder how bloody a East vs. South gets After Big and Pac niggas ain't figured me out yet And I have yet to be proven wrong I can show you better than I could tell you, let's move along [ CHORUS ] (His methods were very simple, but they were diabolical Keep the slave physically strong but psychologically weak and dependent on the slave master Keep the body, take the mind) --> Denzel Washington as Melvin B. Tolson in 'The Great Debaters'
